IN SPITE OF GREAT ADVANCES IN FORMAL METHOD IN SOCIAL SCIENCE, MUCH OF THE UNDERSTANDING OF PERSISTING AND GENERAL RELATIONSHIPS DEPENDS UPON A GRASP THAT IS TOTALLY INDEPENDENT OF SOME FORMAL METHOD. IN ADVANCING SOCIAL SCIENCE, WE INVENT AND PRACTICE TECHNIQUE AND CULTIVATE A HUMANISTIC ART.(Robert Redfield)

Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption. The result of his research is SPIN, one of the most insightful films ever made about the mechanics of how television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public’s perception of reality. A “behind the scenes” look at media mind-control and brain-washing propaganda, directed against the unsuspecting masses.

In a compelling and at times disturbing series, Dr Michael Mosley explores the brutal history of experimental psychology.

Mosley embarks on three journeys to understand science’s last great frontier - the human mind - as he traces the history of the attempts to understand and manipulate the brain.

Experiments on the human mind have led to profound insights into how our brain works - but have also involved great cruelty and posed some terrible ethical dilemmas.

Mind Control

To begin, Michael traces the sinister ways this science has been used to try to control our minds. He finds that the pursuit of mind control has led to some truly horrific experiments and left many casualties in its wake.

Extraordinary archive captures what happened:

scientists systematically change the behavior of children

law abiding citizens give fatal electric shocks

a gay man has electrodes implanted in his head in an attempt to turn his sexuality

Emotions

In this film, Michael investigates how scientists have struggled to understand that most irrational and deeply complex part of our minds - our emotions. Michael meets survivors - both participants and scientists - of some of the key historical experiments.

Many of these extraordinary research projects were captured on film - an eight-month-old boy is taught to fear random objects, baby monkeys are given mothers made from wire and cloth, and an adult is deliberately violent before a group of toddlers.

Broken Brains

Dr Michael Mosley concludes his series exploring the brutal history of experimental psychology by looking at how experiments on abnormal brains have revealed the workings of the normal brain.

He meets remarkable individuals like Karen, who suffered from a rare condition - alien hand syndrome - which meant that one of her hands constantly attacked her.

And Julia, who seems to have recovered from her stroke - until experiments reveal she is unable to recall the name of any object.

Home belonging to an uncontacted Indian tribe are surrounded by crops in a clearing in the Javari Valley of the western Amazon.

Brazilian officials have confirmed the existence of approximately 200 Indians who live in the western Amazon with no contact with the outside world.

This uncontacted tribe is not "lost" or unknown, according to tribal advocacy group Survival International. In fact, about 2,000 uncontacted Indians are suspected to live in the Javari Valley where the tribe's homes were seen from the air.

But confirming the tribe's existence enables government authorities to monitor the area and protect the tribe's way of life.

In 2008, Survival International released photos of another uncontacted tribe near the Brazil-Peru border. The striking images revealed men aiming arrows skyward at the plane photographing them.

Uncontacted Indian groups are aware of the outside world, a Survival International spokesperson told LiveScience at the time. But they chose to live apart, maintaining a traditional lifestyle deep in the Amazon forest. The latest images reveal that the newly confirmed tribe grows corn, peanuts, bananas and other crops.

Because the tribes are so isolated, contact with the outside world can be deadly. Survival International's website, http://www.uncontactedtribes.org, tells the story of the uncontacted Zo'e tribe.

When missionaries contacted the tribe in 1987, 45 Indians died of common diseases that they had never encountered and thus had no tolerance for, including the flu. In Peru, half of the previously uncontacted Nahua tribe died of disease after oil exploration began on their land in the 1980s.

Nearby oil exploration in Peru also threatens the newly confirmed tribe, Fabricio Amorim of Brazil's Indian Affairs Department said in a statement.

"Among the main threats to the well-being of these groups are illegal fishing, hunting, logging, mining, cattle ranching, 'missionary' actions… and drug trafficking," Amorim said.

THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE

This site affirms the right to believe, not what we are told to believe, and not what we blindly consent to believe, but what we determine to be true and worth believing. It presents a way to undertake that “tedious and daunting task” by which we make ourselves accountable to truth itself.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.MARGARET MEAD(Anthropologist)

PLEDGE

Being of sound mind, heart and spirit, I declare the following to be true:* I have no intention of ending my life.* I will not tolerate suppression of our truths, our ideas, our freedoms, or our work.* I support others in the expression of truths and freedom to speak out... no matter how radical those ideas may seem.* Standing for freedom takes courage; together we shall be strong in the face of all odds.* If it is ever claimed that I have committed suicide, disappeared, been institutionalized, or sold out financially or in any other way to self-interested factions, I declare those claims false and fabricated.* I testify, assert and affirm without reservation, on behalf of all those who have dedicated their lives to the ending of secrecy and the promotion of freedom of thought, ideas and expression... that we shall prevail.

SATHYA HEREBY EXPRESSES HIS DEEP SENSE OF GRATITUDE AND LOVE TOWARDS HIS ENEMIES AND FRIENDS (VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE) FOR BEING VALUABLE TEACHERS IN HIS LIFE AND CONSCIOUSNESS.Special Thanks To Academic Chairs And Petty Tyrants.

FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

The friend whose hopes we cannot satisfy is one we should prefer to have as an enemy.

I do honour and confer distinction when I associate my name with a cause or a person: by being against or for is all the same to me.

Let him who wishes to kill his opponent first consider whether by doing so he will not immortalise him enemy in himself. (NIETZSCHE)

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.(GANDHI)

A moving point generates a line

A moving line generates a plane

A moving plane generates a volume

A moving volume generates a hypervolume

The threshold movement is attained at the speed of light

At the speed of light mass becomes infinite and time ceases to be

A timeless, mass-less entity can travel to any point in the universe instantly

A timeless, mass-less entity can manifest to all points in the universe instantly

The mysterious aspect of a human, electromagnetic-ethereal, travels at or beyond the speed of light

TRIBES OF INDIA - Ethnophotography by SATHYA MOHAN PV

In an industrialized India, the destruction of the aboriginal life is as inevitable as the submergence of Egyptian temples caused by the dams of the Nile. As things are going there can be no grandeur in the primitive's end. It will not be even simple extinction which is not the worst of human destinies. It is to be feared that the aboriginal's last act will be squalid, instead of tragic. What will be seen with most regret will be, not his disappearance, but his enslavement and degradation. (NIRAD C. CHOUDHURY)
